I'm a wedding photographer based out of South Bend, Indiana.

I believe in always having a vase full of fresh flowers, especially during peony season. That ending a long day should always be on the patio, with a good book and a glass of rosé. And, going to the beach is always a good idea.

Hi, I'm
Katie

I LOVE a good prop in an engagement session. I don’t see them as much these days, but I have been asked over the years for some ideas. Here are 8 of my favorite props that have been brought along to engagement sessions.

Horse

Ok…so maybe this horse was already there but these two are incredibly laid-back and country so it was perfection.

Dogs

If you bring your pup, I would make sure someone is with us that can take the pup so we can focus on just the two of you for at least a little bit.

Signs

Signs are brought more often than dogs…if you can believe that…and are a great way to keep your Save the Dates clean but fun.

Golf

Maybe this isn’t a prop, but going golfing is a great way to show off your competitive nature. Cheating is encouraged.

Anchor

Have you seen my logo? I will always find a way to use anything nautical if it’s brought to a session.

Drinks

Whether you are coffee, beer or wine drinkers…bringing along drinks (or going to them) is always a good idea.

Balloons

Balloons are really fun..especially if you were proposed to in a hot air balloon and are trying to replicate that experience in your engagement session.

Picnic

Picnics are an easy thing to put together quickly for your session. It can be as extravagant or simplified as you want it to be.
